So, at 6 weeks our little boy is melting our hearts! Not that he didn't do that before, but now it almost seems intentional! :)
He is smiling and flirting in response to my voice or my smile and he does the same to his daddy! It's pretty rewarding to see that beautiful smile. It's really funny when he smiles, because his whole face scrunges up and his eyes all but disappear! Many times he'll stick his little tongue out too--oh how sweet!
Landon is doing really well most of the day, as long as he doesn't have tummy trouble. Tummy trouble is mainly gas. Bummer...he's got it bad. I've tried changing my diet and have cut out just about everything I could and still live--but to no avail. His pediatrician says that he just has to grow out of it. It's terribly sad to see such a happy-minded baby turn cranky in .02 seconds! Gas drops seem to help somewhat, but they are a temporary fix. So...we bounce. A lot. In fact, we bounce so much that I'm working on some really good quad muscles and killer shoulders and biceps-I should be ripped by bikini season. (oh yeah, i'm NEVER wearing a bikini again! thanks for those lovely stretch-marks, Gigantor).
When he's not having tummy troubles, Landon is a pretty darn good sleeper! He typically takes 4-5 naps a day, varying from 45 mins to 1 hr 45 min. Most of the time, he wants to sleep more than 45 minutes but he gets awoken by gas. grrrr. Most nights, he goes down around 8:30 or 9:00 and I wake him for a "dream feed" at 10:30 or 11:00. He continues to sleep usually until 4ish. Then I feed him again and put him right back down until he wakes up between 7:30 and 8:30. All in all, I can't complain. At six weeks...he's doing great!
We have a 2 month appointment on the 9th...can't wait to see how long he is and how much he weighs! It seems like he's grown so much, so fast! He's already outgrown his 3 month sleepers...and pretty much anything else in 3 month size that has feet! He's wearing 6 month size sleepers because they're the only things LONG enough for this baby! I can't even put him in those great little gowns because they don't make them long enough!
